Deleting the Virtual Machine from DSM Explorer

If a golden template is moved from one domain manager to another after the clones are created, the golden template is moved according to standard move functionality. However, if clones created from this golden template are recomposed, the clones automatically report to the new domain manager. Therefore, nothing needs to be moved for a recomposed clone because all of its installation history is recreated using Offline RAC.

To clean up the obsolete clones, which used to report to but are no longer managed by the previous domain manager, manually delete all the moved clones from that manager after the recompose of the clones of the golden template.

Also, if the naming pattern is changed and a particular virtual machine is deleted using VMware View, then a new virtual machine is created with a new name. In this case, manually delete the virtual machine from the DSM Explorer.
